Back-to-school means new routines, new germs, and a good time of year to check what's in the medicine cabinet.
Keeping the basics stocked, such as bandages, children's acetaminophen, oral rehydration solution, and saline sprays, can save you a late-night run to the pharmacy when you least expect to need one.
Pick up our free Back-to-School Checklist to see what's worth having on hand for the school year ahead.
As a reminder, many pharmacies can also assess and prescribe for common minor ailments such as head lice, mild skin rashes, pink eye, and insect bites, depending on provincial scope, pharmacist qualifications, and patient eligibility. Ask your local pharmacy team about the services available to you.
